EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

-
The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election.

EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo.

Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself.

Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year.

It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just sitting or stepping on Pakatan's application for registration.

What is ROS, which comes under the home ministry's jurisdiction, up to now? Why had ROS approved applications of Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) and Parti KITA so quickly, while Pakatan's has been delayed for too long?

Is the ROS collaborating with the EC to disintegrate the Pakatan Rakyat coalition by refusing its registration, thus allowing EC to use its electoral law to freely act against Pakatan?

Well, to us, it is a clear attempt to sabotage Pakatan's intention to register itself as an official entity. Just look at the sabotage attempt that ROS had made to Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) and the current Human Rights Party (HRP).

ROS is acting on the instructions that came directly from Umno. The home ministry, where the ROS currently sits, is currently helm by minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein, who is also the Umno vice-president. He is calling the shots and deciding who should be registered and who could not do so.

Just another 1Malaysia program in doing! Denying democracy and our rights.

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
